Google Capital Leads $100M Round For Services Marketplace Thumbtack

Just three months after Thumbtack Inc. raised $30 million in a round that founder Marco Zappacosta said his startup didn’t need, the services marketplace has raised $100 million more.

Google Capital led the infusion, valuing the five-year-old company at more than $800 million in a round designed to prepare it for an eventual IPO. Existing investors Tiger Global Management, Sequoia Capital and Javelin Venture Partners also participated in the Series D round.
